don't cry

Chapter 38

When I first came to this place, I was very uncomfortable.This is a small southern city with low consumption levels and cheap rent.But the local dialect is spoken everywhere in this place, and I can't understand it at all. It's difficult to communicate with people, and it's easy to be bullied.

What worries me the most is that there is still no news from Du Wei.

I spent the Mid-Autumn Festival alone, so I just bought some snacks. The place I rented was full of trees outside, blocking out the moonlight.I admired the treetops on the balcony for a while, then went back to the house to watch TV.The evening news is still the same, reporting good news but not bad news.This house costs 500 yuan a month, with one bedroom and one living room, with a kitchen and bathroom.The furniture, beds, and home appliances inside belong to the landlord, and if it breaks, you have to repair it yourself.

The location of this place is okay, mainly because it is close to where I work.My major is English, and I can't do it well in such a small place, unless I want to be an English teacher.But to be a teacher in this city, you have to have a teacher qualification certificate, and you have to find contacts and make connections.

I found a Hong Kong-style coffee shop to work, and read books when I was free. When the time comes, I can get a translation certificate and be able to do work at home.

There is a lot of rain in the south, and it rained heavily that day, pouring down on the glass roof.Many of the guests sitting by the glass wall got wet and changed their seats to sit inside the house.

At this time, it was almost the end of the night shift, so my colleagues and I put away the red carpet at the door, and turned off the fountain and colored lights in the garden.There are quite a few customers who don’t bring umbrellas. We have umbrellas here that can be borrowed for customers, but they need to pay a deposit of 100 yuan. Some customers are unwilling to pay this deposit. The store asks the waiter to hold an umbrella and send them to the parking place. come back again.

Among those who work on the night shift, I am the only young man who left the bar, so I have to do the job of giving people away.I was wearing the rain boots from the shop, and after delivering them five or six times in a row, most of my clothes were soaked.

At this time, another guest came down from the third floor. I took a look at him. This man was wearing a fake famous brand. I had seen quite a lot before. He was the type who had no money and liked to show off.

Guess I'll have to send it again.

The man looked at me rightly for a while, and said, "I didn't bring an umbrella, do you have any umbrellas here?"

"Yes, you have to pay a deposit of [-] to take it back, or I'll take you out." I said.

He looked at me and asked me, "Are you from the north?"

I hummed and asked him again: "Do you want me to take you out?"

He hummed.

I opened the door, held up the umbrella, and led him along the path in the garden outside.Because I had to hold an umbrella for the guests, most of my shoulders were exposed outside. When he saw it, he said, "Stand up a little bit, so you don't get drenched."

As he said that, he pulled me by the shoulder and let me walk in with him.I don't like being so close to people, so I left a little.His hand was still on my shoulder, and I had no choice but to hope that he would be sent away quickly.

Along the way, he asked a lot of questions, including what major I was in and whether I had graduated from university.I said that I was an English major graduate, but he didn't believe me. He felt like he was looking for something to tease me.

I'm very annoyed by this kind of person, so I just use modal particles to dismiss him.

Then he said, since he is an English major, why not find an English-related job.I just laughed and told him vaguely that it is difficult for English majors to find a job here.

He said he would introduce me to a job or something.The guest said this kind of thing as a joke, and I didn't believe it, so I laughed.

As a result, a few days later, this person actually came to me and asked me if I would like to do subtitle translation for the movie.I took it seriously at first, but when I went home and played the movie, I realized that it was a shit movie, it was a GV, and it was a low-budget and shoddy movie.

This time, no matter how slow I was, I realized that this person is probably gay.Using GV to ask me to translate, isn't that trying to test me on purpose?

When I went to work the next day, he came again. He deliberately sat in the area I was in charge of, and asked me while looking at the menu: "How is the translation going?"

I sneered and said, "Stop teasing me."

He flicked the menu and said, "How is it? That movie is not bad, it's an authentic American blockbuster."

"An American blockbuster, but a British one."

He looked up at me and asked, "How do you know?"

"Listen to the accent. Americans speak completely differently from British ones."

"They're all in English, what's the difference?"

I was a little impatient, but I couldn't drive the guests away, so I could only say: "Americans have a R voice that rolls their tongues, and their speech does not fluctuate much, while British people's speech has a lot of fluctuations, anyway, you can hear it."

"Are you really learning English?" He looked at me in surprise.

"Okay, believe it or not, don't use that kind of thing to scare me again?" I said, opened the menu, and asked him: "What do you want? Is it the same as last time?"

He nodded and said, "Don't be angry, I'm just joking with you. My brother-in-law is the director of a foreign company. They just need an interpreter there. Do you have an interpreter certificate?"

I shook my head, wrote down his order on the list, and tore it down.The white slips have to be handed over to the cashier, the red and blue slips to the bar, and the yellow slips to the guests.The bar is on the fourth floor. When I sent the list up, the little girl in charge of the fourth floor stopped me and asked me to help carry the packed tableware to the kitchen.

Originally, the waiter put these tableware in a big basket, and some aunts would come up to collect them, but I am on the evening shift, and my aunt gets off work at nine o'clock in the evening, and the remaining tableware that was confiscated had to be delivered by the waiter.

I followed her and carried the big basket down.

This little girl is very young, only 16 years old, but she has a very aggressive temper. Because I am new here, she will order me to do any heavy work.In fact, she is not bad, not particularly deceitful.The funniest thing is the kind who feel wronged by being lazy and not working.Once I was in charge of the south area of ​​the fourth floor, and another girl named Zheng Ying was in charge of the north area of ​​the fourth floor.There are usually no customers in the North District, so it is customary for Guan Bei District to come to help Guan Nan District.

But being assigned by the foreman to stand with her on the fourth floor, I felt a thump in my heart.Because this girl is the kind who is very lazy and often pushes her own work to me.So I didn't expect her to be of any help to take care of the fourth floor together this time.

There are a lot of customers at noon, and the entire south of the fourth floor is full. I watch more than [-] tables by myself, ordering, pouring, serving, and canceling. I went there to chat with the two boys at the bar.

After the very busy time at noon, she finally remembered her work, and came to help me clean up the two tables of dishes, but after a while, she leaned against the service desk and played with her mobile phone. up.

I don't even know what to say.

In the afternoon, the foreman asked her to go downstairs to help look at the boxes on the third floor, but the girl shrugged off so neatly that she told the foreman that she had to look at the fourth floor, and if she didn't have time to go down, the foreman found another person to watch box.

There was a meeting when I got off work, and the foreman scolded Zheng Ying at the meeting, saying she wasn't helpful or something.Then comes the climax.Ms. Zheng Ying's original words are as follows: "I have to manage the fourth floor alone. I do everything. I am the one who takes orders and removes the table, and I am also the one who removes the tableware. I am so busy that I don't mean not to help! "

She was crying and crying as she spoke, feeling infinitely wronged.

I was dumbfounded when I heard it, and I thought that according to what she said, she did all the work, so I didn't do anything today?

The foreman immediately asked her: "Then Jiang Xiaojian didn't help you?"

Zheng Ying muttered, and said, "He also helped, but the fourth floor is so busy, how can two people be enough..."

She was the one who helped me, but she turned black and white, and it became me who helped her. It sounds like she is mainly in charge of the fourth floor.

At that time, I was so angry that I had nothing to say, but I was a man, older than her, and I couldn't bear to scold her.It is really helpless to meet such a colleague.

When the fat man called, I told him about it, but the fat man comforted me, telling me that there are people like this kind of people everywhere, and there are many such people in the shopping mall where he works.At the end of the phone call, it became me and him to share the bitterness.

After I came here, I bought another mobile phone, a Nokia one. Although the model is relatively old, it is still very cheap and strong.But I don't dare to make too many long-distance calls, usually fat people call.

Fatty would talk to me about my parents, saying that my parents once asked him how I was doing, and they seemed to want to see me.The fat man made insinuations about their views on Du Wei, and he felt that my parents might not care so much about me and Du Wei anymore.

But it's too late to figure it out now, I've already come to another place, seeing that I haven't spoken, the fat man changed the subject and told me about Zhou Xun.

He hasn't woken up yet. I heard that his brother wants to take him abroad to see.

As for Du Wei, there is still no news.

I told Fatty not to inquire about Du Wei's news, it is important to pay attention to Zhan Lingyun.If Zhan Lingyun had left the country to go abroad, then most likely he had taken Du Wei out and gone abroad to avoid the limelight.

As a result, when I got home from work that day, I suddenly received a call from Fatty.

It was already one or two o'clock at night, and the fat man would actually call me, probably because of something urgent.

After I gave a feed, I heard the fat man tell me in a low voice: "Zhan Lingyun has gone abroad! I found Li Zhu, and he told me that Du Wei had already been fished out, and he took Zhou Xun to go abroad while Zhou Gong was here. At that time, Du Wei will probably look for you soon."

My heart suddenly jumped violently.

I quickly clenched my phone and asked the fat man, "Fatty, did you hear me right?"

"No, I can still get it wrong. Li Zhu also said, you and Du Wei take care of it first, and come back after the limelight passes. Don't worry about your parents here, I will take care of you .”

At this time, there was only one thought in my mind, and I felt that my heart was beating violently with this thought.As if a big drum was beating on my heart, every sound of that thump told me: Du Wei, he's all right, Du Wei is coming!

Because of this incident, I feel that I have the strength to work. My colleagues asked me to help, and I have no complaints, and I work very happily.The only thing that bothers me is the guest.After he gave me the GV that time, I didn't talk to him anymore. As a result, this person was probably a little bit annoyed, and he has been pestering me for a while.

He also said that he had already seen that I was gay, and told me not to pretend.

This time they stopped me on my way to get off work again.

I couldn't help but torment him, so I said to him: "I'm really not gay, can you stop bothering me?"

He chuckled, and said, "I don't believe it, who are you lying to?" Then he came up to put my shoulders on my shoulders.I was very impatient and didn't bother to talk to him, so I stretched out my hand and pushed him.

Probably because I was too strong, or he was too weak, and I pushed him to the ground in one fell swoop.Actually, I didn't do it on purpose, but he seemed to have suffered a particularly serious grievance, his eyes turned red immediately, and he rushed up to fight me desperately, scratching my neck and scratching my hair.

In my desperation, I took out my Nokia and hit him on the head.

Nokia is indeed a magic machine, and it will become popular immediately after going down like this.

He was startled, raised his hand to touch his head, his legs trembled in fright, and with tears in his eyes, he stretched out his hand to grab me and shouted: "You murdered me! Don't try to run away. My brother is from the Public Security Bureau. Just call him over."

Not long after making a call, a police car drove over.As soon as the car stopped, the police came down and yelled at us: "What's the matter? Liu Taozi, why are you so busy! Damn, don't even look at what time it is, you are deliberately preventing me from getting a good night's sleep Let's do it!"

As the policeman spoke, he walked over and glanced at us.The surnamed Liu immediately pointed to his head and complained: "Brother, look at my head, he broke it!"

"It's a fart to make a small hole!" the policeman said, and looked at me.I was quite nervous, I was unfamiliar with people here, and it would be no good to offend the police here.

But when the policeman saw me, he was taken aback for a moment, walked over and looked at me politely, and asked, "Do you know Shen Wenxuan?"

Shen Wenxuan?I'm not impressed.

The policeman spoke again and said, "I'm Shen Wenxuan's younger brother, Shen Wenhua. When my brother was a waiter in Shichun, do you have any impression of the same dormitory?"

He was talking about Xiao Shen!

I looked him carefully, and finally recognized him: "You are Xiao Shen's younger brother!"

The policeman took off his hat and said with a smile, "It's me! Brother, why are you here?"
